>fo shigga my nigga used to dribble down in VA
what did he mean by this?
The fact that Jay-Z is so rich is actually impressive to me. Even though he is a weak rapper he was smart enough with his brand to get rich as fuck.
Listen to him get fucking styled on by Big L back in 95'

I agree that he's not a great rapper but he has some undeniable classics imo

Reasonable Doubt was pretty solid

he didn't mean shit. Who ever wrote for him thought he was being cool.

He or a friend played basketball in Virginia. Now I can't be sure without addition lyrical context, but he could be referring to NBA star Allen Iverson who played for the Bethel High School teams.
"Indubitably, my fellow comrade of African-American origin spent time playing games of hoop-ball in the state of Virginia"

Big L is NOT a better artist or rapper than Jay you troglodyte, literally the only people who say this don't actually listen to Jay.
And any credible rapper would you tell you that Jay Z is one of the greatest of all time based on skill alone.
And what idiot uses pre written freestyles as a way to judge a rappers overall skill?
You want to really compare these two, compare lifestyle or the big picture to Jay's first two albums.

Jay isn't even the best rapper frm brooklyn nevermind the rest of the world

>Big L is NOT a better rapper than Jay
He is though. Even AZ is a better rapper than Jay-Z

Which Brooklyn rapper is better than Jay lol?
Biggie?
Jay stomps him in double and triple entendres, multi syllable rhyming, metaphor usage, and literally every other literary measurement of rapping sans maybe storytelling.

Jay Z is factually superior to Nas with entendres, and really most non simply straight rhyming clever aspect of rhyming, and is on par with intersylable rhyme schemes.
>>65642143
Big Ls debut was a dud with incredibly poor songwriting that peaked with Put It On.
>>65642154
Flow

That can't carry him over Jay alone, though it is amazing.
Jay is a top tier flowwer regardless.
